I am honored to address my email to You, and to express my will to continue my education in the University of Copenhagen, more preciously I am interested to do my PhD over there.

So first I would like to introduce myself and then to kindly ask You for advice, since you are the Head of the PhD Programm and I am more than convinced that I can get the right answer.

My name is NAIM MEMETI, I am from Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), recently I am working in the Government of the Republic of Macedonia and I am holding the position of State Adviser and at the same time I am working in the Cabinet of Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Republic of Macedonia.

I am working there since 2002.

From 2007 till 2009 I was in London, I did my Master there, in University of Westminster in London, on Corporate Finance Law. The head of the Programme is Prof. Dr. Joseph Tanega.

After I finished my Master I came back in Macedonia and again start to work for the Government of Republic of Macedonia, where still I am.

But, honestly I am searching for a good opportunity to continue my higher education in some prestigious University but of course and to take care where I can get a scholarship, since the economic situation in our country is not good and I can’t afford it, but my wish and will is high to do my PhD. So when I received an email with such an opportunity I thought maybe this can be the way how I can make my dream true, of course with Your help.

So dear Professor, my request is, can you advise me what should I do to become a PhD candidate and what should I do to get the right to study there, how, and what should I do right now.

I am not Professor, doctor juris Henrik Palmer Olsen, nor do I work for him. We are an organisation that only informs about different opportunities that exist. We do not give scholarships, nor any kind of financial aid. If you wish to contact Professor, doctor juris Henrik Palmer Olsen, write to him at his e-mail, which is clearly written in the above post in the Contacts section.
This is the e-mail henrik.palmer.olsen@jur.ku.dk

Kind regards
